It was supposed to be gluten free bread with egg and cheese and veggies. When I got on the ferry I realized there were no veggies and the cheese was a different cheese than I ordered. Unfortunately since I didn't know then if maybe I got the wrong sandwich I did not eat it because I needed the gluten-free bread and I did not think this very awesome bread was gluten free. Or should I say it was not confident that it was since there were no veggies and I got the wrong cheese. Anyway I will be back and next time I will check my sandwich before I get on the ferry.

Steve got a chicken sandwich that was good. I got a hamburger with kimchi. It was excellent but I forgot the name of the burger. I saw a pork sandwich option on the menu that had kimchi but that wasn't the same thing... so just read the menu carefully if what I had sounds good. There are lots of options to pick from so take your time. We also split an order of French Fries which were great! For our sweet tooth we got an Amaretto Milkshake and it was excellent! We really enjoyed this one! It was non-alcoholic and we got this particular one because this was a flavor one doesn't usually associate with milkshake options. We are so glad that we got to try it! The Grub Hut is very, very popular or at least it was when we were there and there was a small line to place our order, very little room to sit and the wait time to get our food was about 25 minutes. We didn't think that was too bad and we thought it was "johnny on the spot" timing at work to tell us that at the time that the order was placed. And I suppose they have it down to an art and need to give out times like this as this restaurant is right by the ferry terminal and Kingston so I imagine a lot of people who are using the ferry need that kind of information to plan accordingly with their meals and arrival/departure times with the ferry.

It's hardly seasoned. The bar area used to be fun and packed with locals. Now there's no one to be found. The bar tenders seem to care less. When there's three customers in the bar? Why would it take 20 minutes to approach you? Take your order? I haven't seen the owner in quite some time. She might want to consider visiting once in a while. I think they had a nice bar manager for a while, but I haven't seen him. And, who I'm assuming is the new chef? Long beard that's held up by a net? ICK. He's ALWAYS outside smoking. Now his arm is broken? On TOP of the hair net? ‍ I'm just gonna take a break and hope someone figures it out.....

A group of five of us dined here on an August Sunday evening around 6 pm. We arrived without a…read morereservation and waited twenty minutes for a table. I scanned the walls and noted all the certifications and awards adorning them. My hope for a yummy pizza just went way up. After being seated in the center of the dining room, we were promptly ignored for ten minutes. Perhaps they were short-staffed this evening, but it was not a good start. We decided to order our dinners and drinks together to speed things up. The plan worked. Our food, though, showed up before our drinks, or even plates and cutlery were set up ten minutes after ordering. Boo. We started with a Caprese salad. It was fresh and tasty, but I would have enjoyed a softer cheese with it. Their mozzarella was too firm to my liking. Our two giant Sicilian pies arrived in a staggered fashion, but that was fine. These large rectangles of goodness looked inviting. We ordered a Hawaiian-style and a meat lovers pizza. This pizza was amazing. The thick crust was amazingly light and delish. I have never had a thick-crust pizza like this and not felt weighed down afterward. Great job. Service was terrible this evening, but the pizza was fabulous and made up for it. We will probably do carryout in the future, but we will be back for more of this goodness.

Pretty sure the ordering page said it's a large salad for several people, it was not but it was $17 lol dressing tasted sour and not like a real Caesar dressing as it was also watery and an almost honey mustard color. Croutons were soggy and lettuce was not the freshest. Pizza was unfortunately just ok. Nothing special in my honest opinion. The pepperoni pizza had so little tomato sauce/ pizza sauce on it that it was dry. The New Yorker wasn't flavorful or anything exciting. Was it inedible? NO! Was it worth $68 ish? Definitely NO!

Consistently below expectations both with the caliber of their baked products and their flippant…read more"service"-- if you can call it that. First their baked goods are stodgy and not properly executed. Their shortbread tastes like cardboard and is nothing like English shortbread should be. No good butter in evidence here. Their koign amman is not even crisp on the outside. There is something off with each baked item. If you enjoy dump and go style baking that don't require any refinement but are full of American sugar, I think you will feel this is an elite bakery. Otherwise, this is a bad knock off attempt. Scones seem to be chewy and tasteless. I got a "lemon poppyseed" polenta cake where there was no lemon-y flavor at all! It was also heavy and couldn't handle more than 3 bites at a time. Stuck in the gullet. Second their service is appalling. The people behind the counter are all in on some inside ball game and customer service is not their emphasis. They are looking away while half-heartedly asking you what you would like, and more interested in serving up verbal repartees to their co-workers while distractedly trying to complete a sale. You can expect to repeat your order a few times. Then there's the off-handed use of bakery tissue which is not quite neat and hygienic. I mean it's a shambolic operation that gets away with it because there is no competition in Kingston unless you take the ferry across to Edmonds.

I was hoping to get a coffee in the morning after a walk one day, but I didn't know exactly what to order because there was no menu. I did hear one of the workers say they could make basically anything. I came and ordered ice cream for the beach. It was a little pricey for scoops of ice cream, I also think I saw a price for it on the board but was charged a little more, so many the board needs updating. Overall a cute spot to check out if you're around. On the weekends they do a little local farmers market across the street. Fun to check out also.
